Isaiah Morris is a London based, Australian born, new media artist, curator, and researcher.
The experience of aisthesis, the imagination’s formation, and how these change our perception of the Self, the World, and God, occupies much of his thought. He pursues this in three modalities: Image, Word, and People. (And when not, he’s probably making Creme Brûlée.)
Isaiah has exhibited and performed worldwide—Australia, North America, Japan, Korea, and the United Kingdom—often in public and non-traditional spaces. He is concerned with how different environments affect the viewer's perception of what is real and what is not, blurring the lines between the tangible and the ethereal.
His collaborators include: New Balance (AU/KR), Red Bull (AU), Melbourne Music Week, Piknic Electronica, Focus Festival (UK), Renaissance Conference (UK), Reality Church San Francisco, and Sunday Screens. Isaiah’s live visuals have cast silhouettes on the likes of Peggy Gou, Carl Cox, Kate Ceberano, Chase and Status, Masego, Kaiit, Ben Klock, Tobiahs, and Rival Consoles. He has curated over 40 music events to support emerging artists (mainly via New Kids) and, in 2017, he founded the No Vacancy Window to create exhibiting opportunities for video and motion-based artists.
Isaiah holds a Master’s in Christianity and the Arts (awarded the Relton Prize in Christian Doctrine and Distinction) from King’s College, London and the National Gallery. He is an Emerging Leader at the Centre for Cultural Witness and a Bill Snelson Young Ecumenist. His writing has appeared in Inkwell, Seen&Unseen, Art+Christianity, and the Journal for Interdisciplinary Theology. Currently, he is working on a book about a theology of LED screens.
